Thanks Michele, Pat, Cathy and Joan. I see the reasoning behind not creating the source as I have done - Find A Grave is not the "unrelated content provider." A good lesson in what to be looking for when selecting a master source and correlating it to what you're using. In most cases, I do try to refer to the obituary at genealogybank, or my own copy. As it happens, I later found Clint Low's obit at genealogybank - but sometimes, if the one I want is only on FAG, and I can't get my hands on a copy, I'll use FAG's transcription. Joan's practice of crediting the person who did the transcription in such cases is also helpful.
